    Installed roof rack and hood deflector. I am actually not sure how much weight I can put on roof, i will probably put low clearance bags, like travel bags with clothes inside etc, nothing too big or heavy. Last time they took up much space in bed, and had not much weight, just space eaten up.

    Nice! Which deflector is that? I had AVS on a lot of prior trucks but not sure if they are still as good as they were.

    Its weather tech deflector, I ordered it from their own site. My rain guards are AVS though, I too saw AVS deflectors on AMZ but was skeptical.

    Blackout package - planned: black bed logos, black wheel vinyls, front seat window tint, tires.
    Nice job in following up, at least. I would also search out the person with the name on the dealership and have a conversation with them.

    I always try to park away from areas like that, but 2 summers ago, stupid me parked near the helipad when a life flight was coming in... sand blasted the side of my truck real nice.

    My truck is parked behind the school bus (its a pizza food truck). I was setting up audio for a carnival

    I wouldn’t have even of thought that either that a helicopter would sand blast you but it makes sense. Sorry to hear that happened to you I would have been pretty upset to.

    Are you replacing them with the same brand again? Mine failed too and I don’t open and close them as much as you do. Debating if I should replace them with next one.

    I can say from my experience AVS quality is as good or better. The key is clean the hood good were it mounts with alcohol and apply pressure a long all the edges. The only issue I had one time many years ago when I had a Pre-Runner mine would whistle at freeway speeds and I’m OCD and it was hard to clean the dirt off the hood under it.So this time I went with a flush mount and it’s whisper quiet. It still protects the hood really well to as I recently went on a 1100 mile road trip and not one nick on my hood :thumbsup:
    Here’s some pictures the first two is when the taco still had puppy breath and All stock :D
    But it’s a good shot of the AVS

    best tires ive run so far! Super quiet, very lightweight, and they grip a ton on slippery surfaces

    thumbnail_IMG_6977.jpg pulled the cabin filter, had some leaf debris and somewhat dusty, no pic, so ordered new fram arm and hammer one, shook the old one out and gave it a shot of fabreeze and put it back in till new one arrives, but the fabreeze was making me sneeze so took it back out and rinsed it real good and it looks like new so its good for another year......oem isnt paper so its seems ok
